Happy Birthday Landon and Skye!

Landon-and-Skye-Birthday-Blog-1It’s hard to believe that Landon just turned 6 and Skye is already 4. I remember the first time I met Karina, Jason and baby Landon…when he was a 5 month old peanut! And I’ve been lucky to document this lovely family’s special moments over the years as they have grown in number. Both birthdays were celebrated with a rooftop bash at Lakeshore Sport and Fitness. It was a perfect afternoon, and the kids had a blast. Thanks for mugging for my camera, Landon, Skye, and baby brother Austin!

Summer Mini Sessions!

Summer-Minis-Blog-1Another block of mini sessions is in the books, and judging by all of the happy, laughing, cuddly, smiling photos, I’d call it a raging success! We had another gorgeous day in Lincoln Park last Saturday morning, and things ran incredibly smoothly and ahead of schedule. I seriously have the best clients. I can’t thank everyone enough for being early for your sessions and for bringing your A-games. It’s amazing how much variety we can capture together in only 20 minutes! I enjoyed seeing you all so very much…what a treat!

I’m working on setting dates for Fall Mini Sessions…one outdoor and one-two studio. I will announce dates at the beginning of August, and will also be opening up my September-December calendar for regular 1-hour sessions. Stay tuned!

Maddy, Miles, Nico and Company

Reunion-Blog-1The whole family was in town for baby Nicholas’s baptism…so it was the perfect chance to capture some family photos! We had a lovely evening last Sunday with soft light and a cool breeze. The little ones all behaved so well, and I was excited to get to know this lovely family. Thanks for a great time Ken, Bonnie, Angie, Jake, Liz, Maddy, Nico, Sarah, Ryan, and Miles!

Emma and Alex…and don’t you dare forget about Bosco!

Emma, Alex, Bosco Blog-1These photos had me laughing out loud as I edited them. Alex has a different face in every single frame…and then I got to the series where Bosco, the family dog, started photobombing! Love these guys! Emma, Alex, Bosco and I had a blast hanging out in Lincoln Park last weekend. It’s always wonderful to see you, Becky and Ross! Thanks for another great time.

Claire, Charlotte, Alexandra, Andrew Jr., and Benjamin Celebrate the 4th

Cousins-4th-of-July-Blog-1In case you were wondering…this session really was as fun as it looks! How could it not be, with these five adorable models? Every 4th of July, this family gathers at Ama and Grandpa’s beautiful house for some special time together. I am honored that they decided to have me out to capture some memories this year. I even coerced Ama and Grandpa, who are infamous for avoiding posing for photos, to take a shot with their grandkiddos. It was wonderful to see my friends Amy, Andrew, Andrew Jr., and Alexandra again, and to meet more of their family. Thanks for letting me be a part of the gang for the morning Ama, Grandpa, Mike, Jen, Claire, Charlotte, Chris, Meredith, Benjamin, Amy, Andrew, Alexandra, and Andrew Jr!
